aay preached on Sunday in the Pres
byterian church to a ;great crowd
His themein the morning was No
Place Like- Horne,' and in the evening,
"Z~lo Woman Like Mother'." In a
very eloquent ; manner he took up
these subjects, which, touched the
hearts of the 'Old Boys" who had
returned for the occasion,

In far off Shetland, the -Congrega-
tional churches . areenjoying a visit
from Rev. Andrew Ritchie, the presi-
dent of the Union in Scotland. Dr.
Frank H. Divine, a debt -raising spec-
ialist, held a conference 'recently with
officials of the Montreal Baptist
churches.: He is referred to as the
'Oben who is putting the "m" .into,.
money and making, it spell ministry
ntnd missions." The Congregational
church of Rhyine, Scotland," is one
of the smallest numerically-, never ev-
ceeding ninety members;' but has the
honor of sending out .209 inireeters
and missionaries among them, the

the department of the stranger, the
Presbyterian • church in Canada has
thirteen missionaries all supported by
the W. M. S., a great Baptist Evang-
elist, Rev. John ',Q.' A. Henry, D D.,
has just.passedaway in Philadelphia.
He was the means of bringing 75,00e
members into the church. Anglo
Catholic conferences have been so suc-
cessful in England that a Central
Executive Committee has been ap-
pointed to indicate the policy for 1923.
-The late Sir Donald, Mac Master,
Bart., K. C., of. London, England,
fnrmerly:•a resident of Montreal and
member' of the House of Commons;
Ottawa, requested in his will that a
memorial' to his son, Lt. Donald Cam-
eron Macmaster, who fell at Loos, be
:placed in the church.at Williamstown,
Ontario, the . old ,home of the family
in Canada.
The church association of England,
g ,
which is the Low church, party are
not inactive since •their brethren of.
the High church party sent the Dec-
laration. of Faith to the authorities of
the Orthodox Greek church. To put
it in the language of .a writer on- the.
subject, "they have stolen a march on
the •Anglo -Catholics by writing a long
letter to the Oectunenical Patriarch,
giving •a summary of Protestant teach-
ings." The letter states that the "dee-
laration is misleading."
"Going to conference" is a matter
of little hardship: new, to most Can-
adian Methodists. The one exception
is to that Assembly which meets in.

In St. George's fields, South Lon-
don, Lord George Gordan, held his
historic anti -Popery riots. The same
ground afterwards becaine the prop-.)
erty .of the Roman Catholics on which•
they built St. George's church, This
has grown to the the Cathedral of the,
diocese of South- work and is now
being cnlar`ged.
Dr. Lynch, editor of Christian work,
who is a Congregationalist, has just
been on a visit to Sweden. He makes
the following comments on Church
life there. "Phe strong Swedish.
church", he writes "has been a bul-
wark -to of the
W a. r. -to the con-
tinent during and since the war. Arch-
bishop Soderblorn in replying to the
Lambeth appeal accepts its offer,
which is a great step forward in the
church unity." He refers ,to the back=
wardness of the Lutheran in Amer-
ica to co-operating with other church-
es by stating, "They (the Swedish
Lutherans) seemed quite amazed when
they learned that the Lutheran bodies
in America were not enthusiastic con-
stituents of the Federal Council of
churches, ' As to the clergy he de-
scribes them as very learned men,
keen to read the latest books of Ger-
man, English and American theolog-
ians.
They give more, attention to the.
preparation of sermons than to social
and industrial questions "I noticed"
he 'remarks, "how few; questions were
asked"me about temperance and other
problems- about which we in America.
are so interested."
The clergyman usually is not a bad
sport, whether choss or golf or the
more vigorous sanies of tennis, soccer!
or • baseball is plaYed.. 'The clerical
flavor is enjoyed, No where is this
better appreciated than on the, cricket
field. ` Recently the Bishop of St::
Albans 'went to bat with one of his
clergy bowling. 'The first ball took
the wicket greatly. :to the injury of
the churchman's dignity. In a note
to the local church paper,, however,
the Bishop states that he is going to
retaliate by "preaching for theoffend

Following is one .of the interesting
letters received by the people of S. S.
No, 9, East Wawanosh in answer to
an invitation to be present at the'5oth
Anniversary picric. It was left' in
The Advance Office on Wednesday
last after our paper was ready to go
to press, or we would gladly have
published it last. week.
Gananoque, Ont., Aug; 9th„ '1922
Mrs. Chas, Carter,
R. R. No. 5, Wtnghem, Ont,
Yesterday I received your kind in-
vitation to be present at your 5pth
Anniversary Picnic of Currie's S. S.
No. 9, East Wawanosh, on Wednesday
August 23rd;
My first impulse was to sit down
,and say, "Yes" I even thought I
should like to make a speech, as you
request, although speechmaking is not
in nm line. The old familiar name
made me want to be with you, and it
would bereal o t
a •, Id school 'house and
-on the old grounds. But I fear that
it will be impossible to aet on my
first impulse. At any rate the pos-
sibilitof myie
ber able to

uncertain that you had better not give
me the honour of haying my name
appear on the programme
We thank you very kindly for the
invitation, and there is the bare pos-
sibility that I •inay be able to accept
.it, although at the present time there
seems , to be very small chance of
being able to enjoy the pleasure,
What fond recollections are called
upeven by the name of the old school
"No. • 9, East Wawanosh!" What
glorious fun we used to have in win-
ter coasting down Lobb':e hill at re-
cess, when each boy would invite his
favored girl -to be seated beside him,
or rather hefoi•e or behind him on his
hand sleigh, and down they would go
at terrific speed to the bottom and
half way up the hill on the other side.
I wonder if "Will" Currie now allows
the boys and girls to coast down his
hills as they did in the old days. Well
do I remember every foot of the way
from my old home to the school and
every farm along the way. How I1ov
ed to cool my bare feet in Stark's
creek on a hot summer day and to.
have a drink of the clear, puve water
which flowed from the spring under
the old rail fence on the south side
of the little bridge over the creek!
Never since have I_ drunk a"water so'',
cool and so' sweet as the water ' of
Stark's creek. Often we boys would,
harness up ,,.our prancing steeds at
recess and drive away to the. creek,
and even beyond, as fat as the.. top
of Stark's hill. or farther; so far'that!
we could not hear Mr. Newcome's
whistle calling,in the school; and then
when we came back, the little man l
•would`be standing in the school room
door• with a ruler, from which -each
belated boy received.a resounding,':.
whack or two on.the hand as he pass-',
ed through the door. Of no avail to
say we didnot hear the call. "You'',
should have heard it; you should not
have gone so far, •
In those days we had not the crowd-
ed curriculum that We have to -day.
But we ;did learn to read and write
and spell, and work arithmetic. There
was not ,the crazeto prepare candi-
dates for the "Entrance," which pre-
vails in so many schools to -day; but
even in those early days there were
candidates from No. g, who did the
old school honour by their high stand-
ing on the Entrance; and at a later
date the "school had the honour .of
pasing candidates for III Class Teach-
ers' Certificates. Yes the old school
had a good record then, and I am
pleased to know that record has been
maintained: There has been nofall-
ing off. In fact, I • have heard that
No. 9 stands in the front rank as an
up-to-date rural school. As Principal
,of a 'large urban school I 'am more
andmore alive to the fact that "The
teacher makes the school." No price,
within reason is too high to pay for
a good. teacher and any price, no mat-
ter how low, is too high to pay for a
poor one. Therefore, having at heart
the best interests of the old school, I
trust it will continue tobethe 'policy
of the Trustees to engage the gest
teachers available and pay them well.
If possible at all 1` shall be witli.you
on the 23rd., but if not there, will yon
please convey to the old friends whom
I should like to know, < my hearty
greetings and best wishes for a happy
gathering. It is my earnest wish and
'Prayer that the school may continue
to prosper during the next fifty years
as it has during the past.
Yours very sincerely,
J. C. Linklater.

THE GOLDEN RULE
The greatest known • test of a good
disposition is when.. that good -dis-
position is inside the driver of -an
automobile and the car •is out on
a country road at night, meeting
scores of machines whose drivers do
not have the courtesy to dim their
lights. There is no discomfort in
driving greater than being constantly
blinded by the glare of powerful
lights of a car approaching from the
opposite direction. In all walks of
life there are the considerate and the
inconsiderate. But the latter are
more conspicuous when they drive
automobiles at night. They consider
it too much trouble to be constantly
dimmipg their lights when the mach-
ines t'ft<meet,are numerous. Con-
sequently they get out of the habit,
altogether, even when they meet cars
on the road occasionally. What these
drivers overlook is the jeopardy in
which they put their own Iives, for 'a
driver who is approaching a car with
the lights blinding- him so that, he
cannot tell where he is 'going;. maX:
unwittingly run into the car he so-
approaching and cause damage ansa
injury when this could be.avoided ,i
courtesy due on the road is, observe& '.
Not Fined For Working
Holding that Chester'Longniars, bar-
ber
arber at the new Prince Edward Hotel;,,
had not violated the city by-law.reg ..;,
ulating barber shops by.lceeping operas
on civic holiday, Magistrate W. E,
Gundy, on Friday 'in the Windsor-
police court, dismissed the charge:
preferred • by the city police. The
charge against Longman was prefer-
red following a complaint by a "citi-
zen." The court said lie was not ins
favor of any by-law :that compelled, ;..
shops to close on any holiday or pre-
vent persons from working when they
considered it necessary.—Sarnia Ob --
